Bug Description
After installing byobu, I get the following output from chkrootkit:
Searching for suspicious files and dirs, it may take a while... The following suspicious files and directories were found:
/usr/lib/
Can these be renamed so as not to trigger a false positive?

Hi Aaron, thanks for the report. I need to think about how to fix this. These files are "hidden" files in that they're helpers to be used by the status scripts in /usr/lib/byobu. I will probably need to add 2 directories under there: byobu/status/ * byobu/lib/ *
- /usr/lib/
- /usr/lib/
or something like that.
I'll need to give this some thought so that upgrades proceed cleanly. I won't be able to fix this for 11.10, but will try to get it cleaned up for 12.04. Thanks.
